Connecting Soil Organic Carbon and Root Biomass with Land-Use and Vegetation in Temperate Grassland
Soils contain much of Earth’s terrestrial organic carbon but are sensitive to land-use. Rangelands are important to carbon dynamics and are among ecosystems most widely impacted by land-use. While common practices like grazing, fire, and tillage affect soil properties directly related to soil carbon...
